The First 10 People On Facebook

It's reported that Facebook has more than 1 billion users all over the world in January 2013. Today I don't evaluate how successful of  Facebook or Mark Zuckerberg but share the first 10 persons who join the Facebook.

10. Zach Bercu

"The past eight years have been extraordinary," Bercu said. A graduate of Emory's medical school, Bercu spent a year in Israel, where he became fluent in Hebrew. He completed his residency in New York, part of the last intern class at St. Vincent's, whose "hospital infrastructure crumbled around me," he remembered of the facility, which closed in 2010. Now a resident at Mount Sinai in radiology, Bercu plans to complete a fellowship in interventional radiology, a form of "micro-surgery."

9. Manuel Antonio Aguilar

Aguilar calls himself a social entrepreneur "focused on the base of the pyramid." His latest venture, called Quetsol, is a renewable energy company based out of Guatemala. Back at Harvard, Aguilar remembers, "I met some of the best friends I've ever had and many of the most talented people in the world."

8. Andrei Boros

Boros has pursued a career in trading, first with J.P. Morgan, and most recently with Trafalgar, a firm in London.

7. Mark Kaganovich

Kaganovich has been interested in technology start-ups since high school, and now that he's finishing up his Ph.D. — at Stanford, in computational biology — he's working on his own. "We want to change bioinformatics," he said of his company, SolveBio. That means building computers to answer "biologically relevant questions" and to make medicine "more precise, more effective, and less expensive."

6. Colin Kelly

Kelly, this urbane guy with glasses, finished at Columbia Law in 2008, and took a job at Paul Weiss, a firm in New York. By 2010, he had purchased an apartment, and he invited a reporter from The New York Times to chronicle his interior redecoration on the cheap. He's currently an associate working on tax law.

5. Andrew McCollum

Facebook's original logo, featuring a young Al Pacino, was a creation of McCollum's. He joined Zuckerberg and Moskovitz in Palo Alto in the summer after their sophomore year, working primarily on Wirehog, Zuckerberg's pet project for file sharing. He was married last year in Rhode Island, in what one reporter called "the geekiest wedding ever"

4. Arie Hasit

Hasit moved to Israel right after graduation, where he is now studying to be a rabbi. He works for a Jewish youth movement called NOAM. "I definitely use Facebook to promote my nonprofit work," he said. "I started using it literally at the beginning, and I've been singing its praises ever since."

3. Dustin Moskovitz

"Having genius and ambition alone isn't going to get you there. It's really important to be lucky," Moskovitz told Kirkpatrick. "But Mark had all three in spades, including luck." What Moskovitz had was a Herculean work ethic and a willingness to learn. "He was just a workaholic and a machine," Zuckerberg said of his cofounder. Moskovitz left Facebook in 2008 to build Asana, a project management app that he hopes will one day replace email.

2. Chris Hughes

Originally the spokesman for Facebook, Hughes left to run Barack Obama's online campaign in 2008. "Working with Mark is very challenging," Hughes told Kirkpatrick. "You're never sure if what you're doing is something he likes or he doesn't like. It's so much better to be friends with Mark than to work with him."

1. Mark Zuckerberg

Facebook's first user actually holds the user ID number four, the first three accounts having been blocked off for testing. With its public offering last May, Zuckerberg only solidified his control over the company he founded. One indicator of his continuing rule is Graph Search, a name for Facebook's latest product that Kirkpatrick speculated was pooh-poohed by marketers. "It's a terrible name," Kirkpatrick said. "It's sort of a little piece of evidence right there that he's still in the driver's seat."
